In 1914, Anglo-American relations were finally on a firm footing, as Britain began to accept the US as a Great Power in its own right. The First World War would see a revolution in the power dynamic between the two. Over the course of the conflict, Britain came to rely on the immense resources of the United States to fuel its war effort. The consequence was an enormous amount of borrowing from Wall Street, which would give the US President, Woodrow Wilson, a great amount of leverage in his aims to establish America as a global power.

This video aims to be a short documentary looking at Anglo-American relations from the start of the First World War to the Treaty of Washington.
